As I noted, there were some shenanigans involved in this session. When we arrived the director of ACE (Sid, who is quite a hoot) informed us that he left his scores in the back seat of his car that his wife was now using to drive about Aspen. So, as Steve and James (the film scoring directors) got on the horn to fix that, we soon realized our bass player wasn't present half an hour after we convened. Unable to get a hold of him, we began frantically calling for someone else. Finally, after much angst, all was resolved. A bass player was contacted and swooped in to our rescue while Sid's wife got the message and delivered the scores.
In the end I was utterly ecstatic with how my cue went. ACE really hauled ass in their performance and Sid lined everything up perfectly on the first take. Bravo! I believe that all the composers were satisfied. The others had to record their cues in chunks due to tempo-change logistics, but I heard a lot of good things and will be anxious to hear how everything turns out. We record our Jimmy Neutron cue on the 10th. After that each of us will return to the studio to mix both cues with the audio engineer and voila - we will have our prize! I will surely be posting the cues once I have them.
Some studio pics (all swearing and obnoxiousness involving photo uploads still apply):

Laura Mercy, LAVA LAMPS! One is swooning!
Thank you so much for posting these photos, especially as one understands how great a royal pain the uploading experience is; they so enhance our vicarious feeling of "being there"! Truly!
Adored the stories of the scores being driven inadvertently all over town, and the bass player vanishing into the aether (though one did laugh out loud and gasp in horror at the self-same time!) ... gratulations on the happy (whew!) conclusions!
And what would life BE without the occasional Thrill or Chill?
Bravo, Dear Nevew!
